10:01 pm
unemployment, record national debt in excess of $16 trillion, scandals and cntroversies from operation fast and furious, the benghazi cover-up, how could president obama possibly win reection so impressively? a popular vote margin of more than 2 million votes, but an electoral vote margin of almost 100. an examination of the fox news exit polling data shows the obama campaign won big with key constituencies, and a strong showing by the democratic base responsible for putting the president over the top. president obama drawing on the latino comunity. xbox projecting 71% of hispanics voted for the president. th number up from 67% in 2008 and, of course, the historic level. the president's support among black voters actually fell to 93% from 95, but that was more than offset by zero white voter turnout at its lowest level
10:02 pm
since 1992. additionally, romney attracted only the support of 59 percent of those white voters. young voters were a huge reason for the president's victory in 2008, and they turned out for him again yesterday. president obama taking 60 percent of the under 30 votes to govern romney's 37%. governor romney nerly one the independent vote, which he is expected to win at least according to some polls by double digits. instead, the margin was 49%-45. the governor needed to do much better than a irtual split amongst those who don't identify with either party. in the end, turn out tells the rest of the story. 38 percent of egistered democrats cast a vote. only 32 percent of republicans turned out yesterday. numbers nearly identical to that 2008 election when democratic

10:04 pm
with a roster of expertsts and insiders, special report anchor, chief investment strategist, best-selling author, the "a-team." president obama returned to the ite house today after an ealy morning celebration in chicago. his first act after winning a second term was to reach ot to senate and house leaders to lay out the legislative agenda for the lame-duck session and to press for bpartisan work on this country's pending issues, including the fiscal cliff, the so-called defense sequustration and, of course, creating jobs. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> as president obama and his family returned from chicago after e jubilation of victory, his top allies immediately vowed, he will be willing to cooperate with republicans on the looming fiscal glove.
10:05 pm
>> nobody wants to see this fiscal cliff without the deal because the cuts are severe, and the tax increases are severe. so we have to find a path for. >> that follows a lofty promises that the president made it a celebration about how the best is yet to come. >> i amlooking forward to reaching out and workingwith leaders of both parts to meet the challenges e can only solve together, reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code,fixing our immigration distant. >> republicans say they have heard this before, actually, at the last victory party in chicago. >> while the democratic party has woa great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divide. >> last night the president also revealed he is planning a dramatic move to jump-start the effort. >> i also look forward to sitting dow with governor romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. >> except president-elect obama did the same witrepublicans on the cain.
10:06 pm
>> a good conversation about how we can do some work together. fix up the country. >> within a year and have the president did not seem as conciliatory toward mccain and health care summit. >> let me just make this pont, john. because we're not campaigning anymore. the election is over. >> the president has made clear mccain and his republican colleagues have simply moved too far to the right to work out any deals. the republican view is the president's idea of bipaisanship is to force them to accept sharp tax increases. there are also skeptical mr. obama is willing to step up with real speding cuts. >> i was interested in his remarks was night about saying that the best is yet to come. well, we would have liked to have seen some of that in the first four years. but maybe he really is serious this time. >> another major stumbling block may be the investigation over the terror attack in benghazi. mccain and republican lindsay gramm have been pressing for answers and accused the white
10:07 pm
house's stonewalling. fox has learned the house intelligence committee will hold a closed hearing of benghi. the demonstration pledging cooperation and sending of witnesses like cia director david patraeus. meanwhile, the fiscal cliff check -- vice-ppesident biden told reporters the administration now has a mandate on tax policy. we will see. lou: thank you. fox news chief white house correspondent. my next guest says president obama won because his campaign was bette organized and better at getting out the vote. joining us now, the anchor of special report on the fox ews channel, co-host of last night's foelection coverage. first of all, let me congratulate you on that coverage. outstanding work, as always. >> thanks, lou. lou: let me go to, first, the first demographics, slice and dice. i heard every strategist talk at length. romney had to turn out the window. he clearly did not.
10:08 pm
he missed it badly. >> you know, 72 percent of the white vote for mitt romney, but he needed a little bit more. because of the obama machine, the organization of the obama campaign really increased the outpouri of support, even from 2008. what is so hard to believe, lou is that in these demographic categories, latinos, african-americans, the ufo, you know, analysts going in -- and we talked about this ad nauseam -- were saying this is no way for this to look like 2008. elected all these polls saying, it can't be democrat plus seven turn out like 2008. well, it essentially was. and the youth vote went up one point to 19% from 2008. the african-american vote one out. in fact, an ohio the same number
10:09 pm
of african americans turned ou as turned out in 2008, mitt romney would have won ohio. but that number increased so dramatically that it erased mitt romney's ability to win that state. lou: i ill cnfess to my was skkptical of david axelrod, his theatrics surrounding his mustache, which she gets to retain. the idea that they grnd operation of the obama campaign would be as energized and successful as it turned out to be. what are your thoughts on the comparisons between a republican and the obama ground operation? >> well, they just had a better team. they had a better out fit in all of tse places, and a lot of people goig in were saying, why is the obama campaign spending some much money on infrastructure? all of these offices a grant the country. in the early months there were
10:10 pm
spending a lot of money, not only on at going after mitt romney to paint him as a corporate raider and all of the same capitol stuff, but also in getting the ground game set up. then you go to election day. there are people with ipads checking actual voters showing up to the polls, oh, york selling soap. you're here, pushing the button. ey have a list. that was not happening on the republican side. so the operation was a lot more organized and just better all across the board. lou: one would have to believe the republicans will emulate in granular detail the ground operation, the next election. >> definitely. lou: you led alongwith gasoline harrison jennifer griffin, from the outset of benghazi coverage and doing a terrific job of it. we have followed the story closely year. it is one of the great surprises
10:11 pm
to me that that issue barely registered in the exit pols. what was your reaction to back. >> well, i just don't think it broke through. i think just at the end of the campaign, i was starting to get the story, starting to get a little bit more coverage from the mainstream media. the cbs tape came out. two days before the election from 60 minutes. that additional footage. president obama talking about it has specifically whether it was a terrorist attack right after his rose garden speech. and did not answer that question. kind of was a different element to the story, but it was too late, andthe story had not been covered really at all by many media utlets. so it did not really break through if you look at the exit polls. in fact, president obama, when it came to foreign policy decisions, surpassed mitt romney in who you trust to handle a
10:12 pm
crisis. lou: we're out of time here, but i just have to say, i don't recall a number that has surprised me more in exit polling than the fact that 51 percent of th people surveyed said that they blamed obama more than they did -- i an, president bush more than president obama when it comes to the economy. >> and that is a huge deal. the fact that president bush is still getting blamed for the economy is something that clearly is showing up in those poll numbers. lou: we appreciate it. thank you. great work last night. president obama winning a second term as his party added to its majority in the senate, counting independent democrats could have a caucus of 55 members up from 53. among the most closely watched races, a democrateizabeth warren beating republican incumbent senator scott brown. and in indiana, the democratic congressman, jim donnelly, defeating richard.

10:20 pm
>> hi. lou: this is a fairly impressive sell-off. what you make of it? >> look, i think yesterday we had two major uncertainties, the dominant one being the fiscal cliff. the last comment, but most trenton center with the election itself. there was some hope that once we get the results of the election we would have greater clarity on the big uncertainty, which is the fiscal cliff. what a surprise is we do't have any more clarity. very few are expecting a twist of the selection. the markets belatedly digesting the impact of a continued standstill on this clause issue. lou: the idea of removing uncertainty, the market should be very careful what it asks for because now that we have clari it is clear that there are some policies that wall street and investors at large disagree with. it's also clear that this ministration is going to press ahead with this agenda, which means we'r going to see higher taxes and significantly so.
10:21 pm
>> well, theyyre going to attempt to press ahead with their agenda. but if you listen to the speaker and many of the house republicans that have already weighed in and they're also digging their heels in on the tax piece. i think there is some low hanging fruit inside this amalgamation that is the fisca cliff, including maybe that alternative minimum tax which was set to in aranother few million taxpayers. lou: we should say middle-class xpayer >> middle-class taxpayers and absolutely. slowly creeping down into the middle cass. and i think this sequestration to some degree is a low hanging fruit. you may be able to take some pieces out of the fiscal cliff, have even possibly a lame-duck a just been made to those. the problem is that the bush tax cut pieces not decided and it goes over the cliff, even if it entually is fixed and made retroactive, we don't have enough cushion in the economy offset the impact that is going to have, and tha is, i think,
10:22 pm
the increased risk of recesion as we look into early 2013. ahead on the market today. lou: early 2013. do you believe investors, these markets have sufficient confidence in this president's and this senate and congress to go into that time where it six months, nine months, deliberation and hard effort to actually reform the tax cut? what do you think the market reaction would be if they were to take a thoughtful the liver approa to tax cut reform? not one of these 98. >> i think it would be a huge boost. not just to the market, but to taxpayers, businesses. i think it would be huge. i have a somewhat personal bias because i sat on president bush's bipartisan tax reform commission in 2005. the whole notion of needingo do this is near and dear to my heart. i think there is bipartisan support for ias opposed to the
10:23 pm
short term fixes. the biggest positive that could come out of this. on the tax peas we tackle the fullon reform as opposed to piecemeal approach. lou: were talking about 9% decline in the market the day after the president's election in 2008 to year's nd. what do you see in the next few months? >> i don't really see a circumstance like tht. we had the entire global financial system i free fall. we were at their early stages of the crisis. i think we are largely on the mend now in terms of the nancial part of the crisis. i think there are a lot of coral springs in animal spirits waiting to bubble up. all lot of the effect of this fiscal cliff, to some degree, has already started to happen and has been happening, at least in the impact on businesses and their willingness to invest and spend. whether we have any near-term
10:24 pm
outloo, that vow of cleing is a different story, but i do believe that there is a coiled spring. lou: all right. a coiled spring and on the mend. >> i hope. lou: thank you so much. >> thanks, lou. thanks for having me. lou: up next second place finish raising a lot of questions about the republican party, its viability. we are talking about remorse, recrinations, re-examination. the republicans failed to meet our modern-day challenges? we are joined, and the president's campaign strategy working exactly as they planned. america turned out, handed him a second term, and some of the biggest implications, ramifications, and consequences of four more years. we take that up in the chalk talk and the cost thereof. ♪

for the presidency dollars in the majority of the swing states. joining me now to talk about some of the reasons behind that, the shifting demographics, republican thinking in strategy, we are joined by former deputy assistt to president george w. bush, also with us best-selling author, and klein. this is as if the obama team did not -- it just knew exactly wha would unfold. that is how together they were. it was the inverse for the ruun the team. >> that's correct. the campaign never ended for obama after 2008. as a matter of fact he kept his people in ohio, expanded his operations. knew what he had to do to work. visited about 80 times since he has been resident, and the republicans were on notice. we knew we had to do, and we
10:36 pm
shirk our responsibility with regard to the average necessary. you can ask somebody to vote and go to them only when you need their vote. you have to court their vote, give them a reason, a affinity, not only to vote for your party, but to vote for your candidate. we sure to responsibility with women's, and hispanics and african-americans. if we're going to have success in the future be better give these folks have a reason to have an affinity to candid it's with select it. llu: the republicans did not even turn out to vote. the democrats' response to be an energized. there were not supposed to have all that intensity. good grief, there were not even showing up. >> the cost per at, many times more than the democrats because they bought them late and they bought them and a very inefficient way.
10:37 pm
the whole campaign was just shot through with an efficiency. lou: do you think it will be as easy for the republicans to raise money next time? >> i'm thinking people talking out, is there a silver lining for the republicans, and there is no doubt their is a lot of attractive potential candidates, bobby general, and nikki caylee, te crews, marco rubio. you can go on and on. the question is, will the base which controls the primary situation, control the primary candid it's, well the base go for any of these people, these populist conservatives overvalued conservatives? lou: how do you react to that question? and let me pose another. i was talking with someone who i will not name. hesaid, basically, the republican party has a strange feeling of being something, but said in his hand, does around
10:38 pm
and calls that a political party. and i have to ask you. is it really that bad? >> well we need to do is get back to basics. we have a party of great principle. look. you can be a member of the publican party and belie 99 percent of what the platform, 30 percent of the platform. if you want to be a member of a party i assume you want to at least believe 51%. you want to believe in the majority of what the party standsor. not be afraid to disagree with party members. it is not our way o the highway. unless we reach out to people who would have an affinity to join us. the problem is we have taken them for granted, and we need them to be a successful party. more importantly thn that, america needs a good, qualified candid it's within the republican party that look like america. lou: if i may say, america needs
10:39 pm
those leaders with exactly those quifications and characteristics. you're right. don't think most americans really give a darn whether it comes from the republican side of the democratic side if the republicans are gointo continue to put out the quality of they have. that does not garner the interest to my attention, passion of the voter. you know, it is immaterial to most americans. the party is called republican or whether it is called raptor. the fact is, the republican party looks to me as it often loover the course of the past 30 years to be indire straits. >> i agree. i think there is a lack of identification on the part of the voters with the republican party. a look at the republican party and say, that's not e. the republican party has to look more like them, not only physically but to convey their
10:40 pm
very deep feelin as well. lou: any prospect in your judgment that president obama is sincere and serious and genuine about reaching out? were going totalk a few eeks. calling of the leaders in the house and the senate today saying, we're going to get some things done. is this sincerity or is this political theater? do you think the man, f you will, evolving and growing as president? >> remains to be seen. one thing is for sure. he pulled the same stunt. the speech he gave last night is the exact same speech he gave in 2008 when he won. now we need to see results. the president is forced into a box. he does not have a mandate. less popular vote that he did the last time. and so the burden is on the president now. lou: also more than enough. it. >> no question about it. if anyone says the president has
10:41 pm
a mandate, they're fooling themselves. on the other hand, the republicans must reach out there hand. if there is good faith on both sides will get a lot accomplished. not because the president wants to but because he has to. >> i don't think you will see a personality transplant and barack obama. i think you're going to get the same barack obama that i found when i did 200 interviews from a book. a guy who really cannot reach out the way a raw reagan did to tip o'neill. come on over, have a drink. let's work things out. does not barack obama. lou: thank-you. stay with us. a nor'easter bearing down on the hurricane a sandy-ravaged coast of new jersey and new york. we will bring youthe very latest. ♪
